Green’s Function for Regular Sturm-Liouville Problems

A Brief Foray into the Regular Sturm Liouville Problem

for some λ ∈ C, x ∈ I = [a, b], and y ∈ C2(I). It was first introduced in a 1837 publication [7] by the eminent French mathematicians Joseph Liouville (1809 1882) and Jacques Charles François Sturm (1803 1855). At this point, our initial questions might be: why is this problem important? What can we say about the structure of this equation? How about the solutions? We will tackle a few basic re...

Eigenvalues of regular Sturm - Liouville problems

The eigenvalues of Sturm-Liouville (SL) problems depend not only continuously but smoothly on the problem. An expression for the derivative of the n-th eigenvalue with respect to a given parameter: an endpoint, a boundary condition constant, a coefficient or weight function, is found.

Regular approximations of singular Sturm-Liouville problems

Given any self-adjoint realization S of a singular Sturm-Liouville (S-L) problem, it is possible to construct a sequence {Sr} of regular S-L problems with the properties (i) every point of the spectrum of S is the limit of a sequence of eigenvalues from the spectrum of the individual members of {Sr} (ii) in the case when S is regular or limit-circle at each endpoint, a convergent sequence of ei...

Numerical solution of inverse Sturm–Liouville problems

A new algorithm is proposed for solving the inverse Sturm–Liouville problem of reconstructing a symmetric potential from eigenvalues. It uses Numerov’s method instead of the second order method of the related algorithm of Fabiano, Knobel and Lowe. An extension by Andrew and Paine of the asymptotic correction technique of Paine, de Hoog and Anderssen is the key to the success of the new algorith...
